Wonderful team - My Kilimanjaro trip was one of the best experiences of my life. When I began my trip I wasn’t sure if I will made it to the summit but Habari Adventure team helped me every step of the way to make sure I succeeded. The level of hospitality, customer service and kindness was something I never felt before on my previous adventures. Once I landed in Kilimanjaro, everything went smoothly from the airport pick up to my stay at Brubru Lodge. My tour guide Leon was one of the best guides, he was fun, trustworthy and always taking care of me he made sure I’m happy and healthy. Pio was also incredible he made sure I’m hydrated brought coffee in my tent every morning. The food was excellent, nutritious and comforting. This team was always attentive, observant, caring, helpful and supportive. I’ll be recommending this to all friends who wants to hike Kilimanjaro. They were beyond fantastic!

Hiking experience with great company. - My friend and I travelled to Tanzania at the very beginning of November 2023, for the sake of climbing Kilimanjaro for 7 days via Machame route with Habari Adventure. With the help of Caroline also we manage to arrange a 4-days safari after a big challenge on Kilimanjaro. Our hike up Kilimanjaro was well organized with this local Company and it was amazing. I can’t imagine making it to the summit without the support of the Leon’s team. Our 8 days Machame trek was made effortless, thanks to the knowledgeable guides Leon & Evance without forgetting porters for ensuring our safety throughout the climb. Jimmy, the stomach engineer never let our stomach empty by any chance we arrived at the campsite. We had fresh hot lunch every day. Lunch on point Jimmy was amazing he even manage to arrange my favorite dish Vegetable pizza on our last day. Thank you so much chief Jimmy. We finish Mt. Kilimanjaro challenge and as always Habari Adventure provided us with excellent services for our four days safari. Our safari guide Hillary was so friendly, informative and patient guide. We quickly became friends, sharing a lot about Tanzania culture and the wildlife stories. We manage to know that he likes bird mostly when they sing in the forest. Hillary fulfills our expectation on safari because we manage to see all the big five and many more species than expected. During our four days of safari we visit Serengeti and Ngorongoro the wildlife range was amazing. This safari was one of the best experiences and completely exceeds our expectations. Throughout our four days safari we slept on high quality and perfect campsite that Habari Adventure selected for us. We got everything for our needs and the food were good, we enjoyed everything about the campsite were excellent. Habari Adventure really surprises us. And I highly recommend anyone out there looking for the local company to use for Tanzania Outdoors, to book with Habari Adventure you will not regret. They got more than you desire, Habari Team Never Lose 10/10 wow.

Machame Route July 2023 with great team - I am lucky enough to have visited Tanzania in July and after research decided to use Habari Adventure because of the outstanding reviews. I'm happy to report that even the most positive reviews don't do this group justice. From the very beginning Caroline from Habari Adventure team made our experience as easy as possible - she was incredibly communicative and even proactively reached out to me as the travel requirements in and out. Once we got to Tanzania, we spent the first 4 days on safari with our incredible guide Hillary. WOW, what an experience! Not only did we see every animal we could have ever wished to see. Lions, cheetahs, rhinos, a jaguar, etc. but Hillary was incredibly knowledgeable about everything from the largest of animals to birds to insects in Tanzania’s national parks. Not to mention, he's hilarious! The safari was truly 4 days of amazing scenery, close-up animal experiences and non-stop laughter. If you are considering going on a safari while in Tanzania you could not ask for a better team than Habari Adventure and Hillary! We spent the next week climbing Kilimanjaro’s Machame route and what an adventure it was!! Truly by the end of the trip every single guide and porter felt like family - I will forever remember how kind, thoughtful and fun loving the entire crew was. Emmanuel, Evance and Leon were our guides and each of them was knowledgeable about the mountain, our health and what to expect over coming days. Additionally, they were all a pleasure to spend time with - our climb was filled with tons of laugher, singing and joking around!! Also, the tent set up was comfortable and very clean and the food was delicious, thanks to our chef and kitchen crew, special shout out to Remmy and Eliasa!. I'll also mention, I had the unfortunate experience of getting quite sick on the mountain and Emmanuel, Evance and took care of me through the entire ordeal - checking in on me constantly, bringing me ginger tea and eventually. Evance, carrying my backpack down the mountain so I could get down safely. For an unfortunate situation, they made sure I felt safe, got back to health quickly and still had an incredibly positive experience. I truly cannot say enough positive things about this team - I will absolutely be traveling again with Habari Adventure and hopefully the team in Tanzania!! Thank you to the team made me to the top of Africa without them I couldn’t bear did it. Highly recommended this company for both Kilimanjaro and Safari Trip in Tanzania. Your Amazing Habari Adventure and the team.

"Wonderful Experience". - Habari adventure is the only name you need to research for climbing the mountain. I spent about 4 weeks researching for the climb for myself and afterwards a 6 day safari with my daughter. Habari adventure organized both. I chose Machame route for reasons. Most important was safety and success rate. The guides were outstanding. Professional, knowledgeable, experienced Organized and totally aware of your safety. Their gear was the most updated gear on the mountain, best tents, warm, best sleeping mats and bags. Food- this local company had the best American trained cook. Food was sent up the mountain every couple days so it was fresh. Water always filtered and clean. Other hikers in other groups told me their food was always boiled and deep fried and poor. Habari adventure gets 5 stars in their food. It is essential to the right food to get you to the top. This was a tough physical trip. Small advantages make a huge difference and Habari had them down pat. Our head guide (Andrew) climbed Kilimanjaro over 100 times, without him I know I would have had a tough time reaching my goal of 19,341 ft summit. Thank you so much. Definitely I would recommend any one to go with Habari adventure. Trip of a lifetime.

Unforgettable Journey with an Unforgettable Team - Stan and the team at Habari Adventure are incredible. This was the most trying experiences in my life, and I couldn't have felt in better hands than with Habari. Stan molded the journey to us, noticing our strengths and enthusiastically taking us on additional exploratory treks that few others get to experience. Whenever times got tough, which they inevitably will, he knows to ease off the gas for the greater goal of summiting. I've never felt in better, more supportive hands. If you're thinking about Kilimanjaro, Stan is your man.

A personalized adventure - Stan and his team adapted the trip to our needs and desires -- tracking our progress along the way and changing in response. We were even able to add additional exploits some days in an effort to accelerate acclimatization. Stan is very knowledgable, friendly, and experienced! He was flexible and compassionate given how we may be feeling in the altitude. We couldn't believe how well run the trip was -- from setting up camp early to delicious hot food. It will be hard to go back to regular backpacking! On summit night he led us up at the perfect pace to see sunrise. An unforgettable night and an unforgettable adventure. Thank you Stan, Michel, Ema and the incredible team of porters for such a memorable experience.

Thank you Stan! - Stan was excellent! He's kind, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about the mountain. Stan made a difficult summit night manageable and got us to the summit at EXACTLY the time he suggested -- 5 minutes before sunrise. I will never, ever forget this climb. Thank you so much to Stan and his easygoing team.
